River City Gold & Silver Exchange — Local services in La Crosse

We wanted to sell a coin collection. When we visited, the shop was recovering from a fire next door, and they were working on folding tables with no display cases or any other shop furnishings. They were very professional in spite of that challenge.

Location isn't my favorite due to parking but even if you ate a parking fee for convenience, you would still see more profit vs. going someplace...

Be careful. What will happen is that they will count your coins. In my case I had about 400 oz of silver. Half were Morgan silver dollars. They never once looked at the dates or the value. They only counted the coins and gave me spot. Even though I paid on the average, $30.00 a coin for the Morgans they only paid spot, about $16.00. They are making double what they gave me. I expected them to be honest... I even had Carson City coin, forget a fair price. Just my warning to you. I needed the money so I...
